The Zawada manor was first mentioned in a document in 1517 . After several changes of ownership, the Zawada estate was taken over by the industrialist Franz Winckler in 1838 . Administratively, the place was already subordinate to the community Orzesche in the district of Pless , ecclesiastically it belonged to the parish Woschczytz . On October 26, 1868, a school of its own was opened in Zawada with a class of 117 students, and the new school was built in 1934. In 1885 there were 715 residents in the village and manor Zawada, in 1900 797 inhabitants. Since 1922, the place belonged to Poland in the course of the division of Upper Silesia as a result of the referendum of 1921 - with an interruption from 1939 to 1945 during the German occupation in World War II .
